[@Lieutenant_Scrotes]

What's so impressive about John is that he looks like an average guy who keeps in shape, not some hulking roid monster.

[@Chris-ie2yd]

Yeah, he's the definition of David against some of these Goliaths! xD

[@Chris-ie2yd]

Though, when he armwrestles... his arms suddenly become huge, lol.

[@shawnhandelman7982]

Make no mistake, John does work out.

[@robertnesy7850]

Lieutenant Scrotes thats why he so well loved, besides being a really nice person.

[@lepe]

Average guy who keeps in shape? Have you seen the size of his arm?

Best thing about Brzenk is that no matter who he goes up against, arm wrestling champion or some regular housewife, he always ends it with a big smile on his face and a great attitude.

Cuz he wins 100% of the time hahah

[@Zenzuu]

Even if he loses, John still smiles and praises his opponents. Absolute class & sportsmanship @@dandan6778

I like how he stood up the strongman cos he was under the table . This ref should be on for Michael Todd matches.

[@Mad_Martigen]

jben212 funny. I thought the same thing.

[@Andy-pl7nk]

I think there is a compartment under the table where Michael Todd secretly blows the ref, thats the only explanation they allow his blatant cheating.

Dude. John was under the table as well and the ref didnt do anything about it.

I like that the strongman could really arm wrestle, watch Johns interview about that match !!!

[@tretayug3500]

[@steveh.9170]

key word "Humble" cant stand watching all the "Mouths" anymore.

[@somerandom7672]

Humble is great. It's also good to have a few 'personalities' in the sport as long as it's within reason. They're the ones that bring in the most attention. Arm wrestling is one of the most competitive sports there is - usually a few seconds of brute strength, adrenaline and testosterone. A humble psyche isn't necessarily going to give you an edge. You have to expect most meatheads to get loud and sure of themselves, ready to go. Then when you win it's hard to suddenly bottle all of that drive. People like John should be appreciated but not expected.

[@davecunningham8476]

Awang333 Agreed. Love the guy. Super cool 👍

[@Divine_R]

0:49 textbook definition of top roll !

[@ballsthatclank]

so the big dude at the end couldn't even win after brzenk had pulled 50 times?

[@lepe]

***** That guy is Lars Rørbakken, and although he really is a top-level strongman, he's not even CLOSE to being the strongest one. (Not saying that the strongest one would beat Brzenk or do better, since not all strongmen specialize in arm wrestling.)

[@lepe]

***** I thought you meant the strongest in the world, my apologies. He's definitely one of the strongest in Norway. It also appears that arm wrestling is his specialty, and it's obvious from the video. Despite weighing a lot less, I think Brzenk had a big advantage when it comes to how strong his wrist and grip are. Lars simply could not prevent the hook, so I think that's something to work on.

[@lepe]

***** Cyplenkov is nothing short of a freakshow nowadays. The amount of growth hormone he took completely changed his appearance, he looks ridiculous. And he still can't beat Brzenk. I think with some work on his wrist Lars can definitely be a pretty high level arm wrestler. His relatively skinny legs do make him look unbalanced though (not that it really matters in pure arm wrestling).

[@brentlionakaboldchamp]

Herp Derp Brzenk`s grip is not that strong....considering his status as an arm wrestler. He can`t even close the #3 coc, but several men in smaller weight classes can, and Lars likely can, as well. It`s his arm strength that matters, and technique. As long as you know which way the arm wrestler is pulling, you can adjust to them.

[@wadegatecliff3258]

that big guy was lars rorbakken hes a fucking beast....theres a video of devon larratt calling him on for a match and lars tuned him devon was rattled...hes not an ameteur hes a arm wars heavyweight

The last guys name is Lars Rørbakken and he is from Norway. He is 14x norweigan champion and 7x nordic champion. Other than that he is in another weightclass than Brzenk. Rørbakken er 6'4 - 125 kg. So probs to John for beating him after so many matches vs other people he is a true legend.

[@InversionRecs]

This is the first pro arm wrestling video I watch cus I was really bored, but damn! Massive respect to John, he looks all calm and chill even during that last one after beating all those other guys (and girl). He's not even a big muscle dude, he looks normal and takes down monsters! Epic, I love this now.

[@DDCULTI]

WHen you look at JOhns face at 3:19, you can see that he knows this guy will not be as easy to beat as the others. Huge respect for the last guy, it must take extreme discipline to get such beastly arms.

[@SKgyebaek]

after armwrestling about 30 guys or so, his rotator cuff and his muscles would be worn out. John would have thrashed that guy if he was first in line. plus, armwrestling is more about the density of the forearm. John's forearms look much more vascular and dense.

[@DDCULTI]

Joe marine They only put that guy at the end of the video because he was the toughest, not because he was the last in the line.

[@Armwrestlingaustralia]

To be honest Lars was going to push John to the limit whether he was first or last, and the guys in between barely had John getting out of first gear. Except big Alan Kliese who out of straps caused John major problems getting hand control.

[@stitcha123]

Nah....he is a professional arm wrestler, using a fairly common technique, called the flop-wrist press. I have tried it before, and its generally a very comfortable position if you know what you are doing. But he might have suffered a bit of a slight injury which might nag him for a few weeks, just because his match was so long and tough.

@@Dan91 he may be a professional arm wrestler, however that doesn't mean he can't break his arm.

[@-WhizzBang-]

Just having the opportunity to arm wrestke with John Brzenk, the greatest arm wrestler of all time, would be an honor.

[@aasroyal8820]

Superb example of managing the opposing force. John uses the strength of his opponent (technique for heavier than him) to overthrow him. He lets his opponent get tired in the first moments and then begins a gentle ascent when the pressure is released. Then he braces the arm of his opponent who can only suffer. and as soon as his opponent gives up his arms, he has only to exert pressure to win the match. Sublime! intelligence, strength and humility (knowing one's physical strength in relation to one's adversaries)
